Gaon Connection

It works with schools, self-help groups, farmers clubs and other community bodies in remote, media-dark areas across Bihar, UP and Jharkhand to help rural citizens become powerful voices for their communities as community journalists. Our aim is also to build the Swayam Project into a global case study - the largest communication programme of its kind in the world, across states and multiple languages which has demonstrated implementable solution, resolving issues and bridging the knowledge gap which is currently a visible issue faced by rural India. Gaon Connection is supported financially by THE INDEPENDENT AND PUBLIC SPIRITED MEDIA FOUNDATION (IPSMF), backed by Mr Azim Premji and other notable philanthropists. IPSMF promotes excellence in independent, public-spirited and socially impactful journalism and has been supporting Gaon Connection Private Limited for the purpose of reporting and publishing stories of public interest.
